Just showing off a piece I've been working on forever, and finally completed. I've used a weighty and gorgeously patinated ancient Roman glass fragment as the focal and added a handformed precious metal clay faux bois charm, and a AA grade red spinel briolette. There are black lava stone rounds, faceted prehnite cubes, and garnet red baroque pearls. Everything is linked with sterling silver, and there is a fine bit of sterling chain which picks up where the beads leave off. This is a masterpiece in my eyes.

My Witch Hats

About Me

I'm a mom to 3 amazing boys, and wife to a music aficionado. My artsy crafty business, Mermaiden Creations, has grown and evolved over the years out of an obsessive compulsive need to create and articulate the constant stream of ideas flowing into my head. For me, creating is an exercise in magic. I find the polarity of weird beauty fascinating, as well as the combination of things dark and light. I love to listen to weird folk music and read fantasy novels and archaeology text books. You'll find me at weekend kids sports events or well past midnight donning my favorite witch hat.
